Back on the big screen: The action thriller marks a return to big Hollywood movies for the actress who has been more focused on her stage career the last couple of years or so

The first trailer for the movie dropped last month as the Black Panther star returned to the big screen in Marvel's record-breaking blockbuster Avengers: Endgame.

The candid shots from Tuesday's shoot might give something of the plot away - or they might not.

Rising star: The first trailer for 21 Bridges dropped last month, just hours before the release of Avengers; Endgame in which Boseman reprised his Black Panther role

The trailer opens with a young version of Boseman's character at the funeral for his father, a cop killed in the line of duty.

Fast forward 18 years, he's also a cop and attends the scene of a robbery gone wrong that leaves eight NYPD officers dead.

Two suspects are on the run and Boseman is tasked by superior officer J.K. Simmons to track them down.

Boseman orders the closure of all 21 bridges that connect the island of Manhattan to the rest of the five boroughs. He also orders the four tunnels shut down, trains blocked and subways confined to a loop.

'Then we flood the island with blue,' he tells his colleagues.

That means no-one can enter or leave Manhattan and ultimately Boseman starts to wonder if he is, in fact, not the hunter but the hunted.

'It’s a ride when you watch it. At the same time, it took me back to my theater days where you have the fast-paced language… I lived in New York for years. I feel like this movie sort of captured that sort of things,' he said.
